887. Kulula Airlines (13)

Kulula Airlines is a low cost airline operating in South Africa on domestic flights. Their novel approach is brightly coloured livery and to make everything humorous - either by the way they paint the outside of the plane or with their public address system. The word Kulula itself means "it's easy" in the Zulu and Xhosa languages.

In-flight announcement:

On a Kulula flight, (there is no assigned seating, you just sit where you want) passengers were apparently having a hard time choosing, when a flight attendant announced, "People, people we're not picking out furniture here, find a seat and get in it!"

The inspiration for this blog came initially from one written in Spanish ("Blogudeces de la vida cotidiana") by Gustavo, a blogger from Argentina. I'm delighted he considers this blog to be the "English Cousin" to his. I also include stories and anecdotes when I have no eavesdroppings to report. All pictures are mine unless otherwise stated. If you would like to contribute your own eavesdroppings for inclusion here, please e-mail me on lonicera53@yahoo.com.
